125 Killed by ISIS in bombing.

Duggy747 · 04-07-2016 11:21AM

So one of them was a truck bomb, if you've ever seen videos of them detonating trucks packed with explosives then it's like a mini-nuke going off causing insane destruction.

200+ is an insane number of innocents they got.

A quick Google shows Saudi Arabia & Qatar mentioned/accused as funding Daesh, and Vladimir Putin revealed last November that 40 countries, some being members of the G20, fund Daesh and their monstrosity's. Whole world's going to hell in a handbasket..

A very good post imo.
No one asks where did these terrorists get enough explosives to fill a truck and enough explosives to fill the next truck for the next terrorist outrage that will inevitably come.
Instead all we get are "investigative journalists" who come up with scoops such as "associates" of Putin like to wear Rolex watches and other meaningless drivel!

They buy them with oil smuggling money from warlord controlled caches of weapons in destabilized states like Libya, looted them from the Syrian Army or simply picked them up after the Iraqi army ran away from fight after fight leaving everything behind them (from tanks to bullets).

It's getting very little coverage in mainstream media in Ireland, it's a shame the media have graded peoples lives worth covering from where they are from first rather than the amount of deaths.

Saudi Arabia is considered to be an ally of the United States, that's what people have to remember.

So if the Saudi's are funding Daesh/ISIS or whatever you want to call them, how can the US ever hope to defeat, and ultimately annihilate ISIS, if they are close allies with it's chief financiers? and a nation who has one of the worst human rights record in the world.

The whole America and Saudi relationship is a sick and twisted one. On 9/11; 15 of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, and Bin Laden was a Saudi, but the US did sweet f-all about Saudi Arabia. Instead they went into Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Pakistan, and turned a blind eye to Saudi Arabia.

Without wandering into tin foil hatted territory..

The golden handshakes/exchange of briefcases loaded with cash must really be worth it if the U.S can look away and whistle nonchalantly at what Saudi Arabia are up to and their terrible human rights record..

I await the day the U.S finally say enough is enough and cut ties with Saudi Arabia, but I fear I may be dust before such a day ever comes.

The decision back in the day to completely oppose Iran has had so much more blowback and impact than any other decision in history.

Media didnt grade the victims live, society did. Media reports on and gives more time to certain headlines and stories in response to what the general population is most interested in

It was reportedly a truck bomb, not surprised by the number of casualties with that information.

This IRA bomb that was left in Manchester city centre gutted an entire street and would have killed hundreds and hundreds of people if approximately 80,000 people in the surrounding area hadnt been evacuated. It even still injured 200 people despite this

Medina in Saudi Arabia has been hit by a suicide bomb according to BBC World News. The blast happened near the Prophet's Mosque which is known to be one of Islam's holiest sites.

There are also reports of shelling at Baghdad International Airport with a total of 20 explosions hitting the site. Also in relation to the Baghdad attack during the weekend; the BBC's death toll is stating 165 instead of over 200 from other news agencies though. It still doesn't defeat the fact this is a terrible tragedy to unfold for the Middle east right now in the space of a few days.

^^^^^^^^^ Exactly this, If Bush & Blair had left well enough alone, and not invaded under the pretense of "weapons of mass destruction" and had they left Saddam Hussein be and later Gaddafi, the West wouldn't be experiencing the blowback from the actions of hungry warmongers.

The same way they left Assad alone?

That's turned out well....

Assad has been fighting ISIS and other radicals since 2011. You get rid of Assad, ISIS takes all of Syria, and the situation will inevitably get more serious. But thankfully the Russian's are there, such a thing might not happen. Thank god for Putin.

Regarding the Bangladesh attack , police are apparently shocked over the elite background of the attackers

I wonder how the left will blame the west on pushing these poor lads to commit such horrible acts.

And in fairness to the west, they intervened in Lybia to prevent a prolonged war, where ultimately hundreds of thousands would die.

You could argue, that similar intervention in Syria when it was a straightforward rebellion would have stopped Isis getting a foothold.

The Islamic world is full of these death cults and the Shiite/Sunni divide makes them stronger and stronger. They will have to come to terms with the fact that Muslim scholars are presenting a distorted worldview of the Quran otherwise the rest of the world will group all Muslims as terrorists and correctly so after seeing all this on our tv and computer screens.

Turkey was so slow getting it's gear updated, when the Iraqis had their uprising in between the gulf wars they could have been right in there if they had modern tanks, kicking themselves after that they were and got a load of Leopard 2's a few years after.

It's interesting to note you consider self defense murder.

ISIS are simply a bunch of criminals hiding behind the veil of religious zeal in order to justify their own abhorrent behavior to themselves.
These cvnts are simply in it for the opportunity to kill and maim people, the Islamic extremist angle is of little relevance to these creatures.

This makes no sense. So your saying that they are all a bunch of serial killers who formed a group and use religion as an excuse to kill and satisfy their urges??

You don't blow yourself up if you just like killing.

Their main driving force is religion and ideology, I don't understand the argument that they are simply evil killers and nothing more.

They regard Shias as heretics and so they preach it is justified to kill them, that is easy to understand.

What's your point?

Moo Moo Land · 05-07-2016 10:33AM

This new report is going to point the blame at Blair's lies over WMD.
You reap what you sow and ISIS was created by the US/UK invasion of Iraq.

05-07-2016 03:44PM

Apparently the deadliest bombing ISIS have ever carried out and the most fatal in Iraqi history.

#WeAreOrlando #JeSuisCharlie

I know that's d*ckish to write but the number of dead in this attack is double the total of both those attacks combined.

These animals have wiped out ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE people in this attack. Absolutely bonkers. Seems like they've actually used Ramadan as a type of 'bait' for this trap. Low life scum.

Between this and Turkey, it shows just how horrendous a group these are, and really makes you have to question just how much their cause has to actually do with believing in their religion, rather than despotic power.

RIP to the dead, awful stuff.

People can't really complain about this crap happening.
You wanted Western troops pulled out of the Middle East and you got Islamic State.
Well done.

You can't say you weren't warned of what would happen if Western troops were pulled out before Iraq was stabilized.

People in the west will relate more to events in the west, people in the East - events in the East, and so on.

To be fair his view was somewhat obscured by a seemingly endless amount dark, thick liquids at the time.

Well, that and the fact that his VP was the one really calling the shots according to quite a few.

125 Killed by ISIS in bombing.
